CITY WE CALL
FOR BIDS SOON;
ADDED PAVING
Preliminary Details Set In
Motion Today for Work
Under New Program
Preliminary steps were taken at a
special meeting of the city commission I
this morning when about ten blocks of
the new $2500»mi paving program of the
city were tentatively selected to be the
first to be paved.
.Mayor A. B. Cole *aid that before de-
ciding definitely on these ten blocks he
would appear before the directors of
the Chamber of Commerce to secure any
suggestions or amendments they may
have to offer. This will be done today
probably and immediately bids will be
called for. The awards -hould be made
in about thirtv days.
The ten blocks tentatively selected
include one block from Washington to
Adams on Tenth; four block on Adams
from Tenth to Fourteenth; Eleventh
street from Levee to St. Chari- s and
one block on St. t baric* from Eleventh
to Tenth; St. Charles from Eleventh to1
the passenger depot subject to whether
the ta-lroad's plans for improvements
will make that necessary; about three
block- from Tenth and Adam* on Adams
to the grammar school.
There was brief discussion of the
plans for improvement on /.abetli
street from Palm Boulevard out to
where the new county highway will
probably enter that street bu .1 > ic-
tiidon was taken as to the type ct' Hav-
ing to be uset! there. .
Fred Kightor of the Southwe-- Bit-
ulitbk* < ompany informed the city on -
ii isaion that his company would I «d on
all the jobs under the program re-
gardless of their size where the jobs
aie permanent paving.
Mayor Cole said that it is planned to
improve some of the less impor ant
streets with a lighter construction than
that used on Flizahcth and other ma il-
ly tiavi led streets. However th-re was
little definite discussion of paving l**- -
yon dthe initial improvement of about
ten block*.

guijo last yrai's Brownsville star
pitcher is making a bid tor a place or

Arguijo recently pitched five innings

men and allowing two hits i»ut no runs
while a regular who followed him al-
lowed two runs in four mings. If Ar-

team a staff of five pitchers.
Clements is shining at Houston ac-
cording to newspaper reports. The
Houston Post reporting a game yester
day in which Houston played Omaha
reported th;v* Clement.; appeared in a
sensational play. The Host said:
••One play alone wa> well worth the
price of admission to the fan who loves
sensational f'elding. B'shop Clements
rookie who i* waking a sweet bill fur
the third sack job was on the business
end of the play. With' a man on fir-t.
Manush shot a hot liner along the
third lase line. Clements was barely
able to get a glove on it. He gathered
it in and made the long throw to l>e-
Noville at first in time to retire the
runntr who had taken a lead of the
sack.
"Clements and Bechtol another re-
cruit. were the heroes of the day at the
hat. Kach had four hits and each pol-
led three baggers. Clements had a two
bagger as well.”
